I love dogs. Also cats; but dogs have become my main companions and are now my life.  I’m sure some reading this know already so I’m sorry to repeat myself – no need to read on if I’m boring you.

A couple of months ago a friend on Twitter - Catherine Bevalot - asked if anyone would like to contribute to an article she was writing about pets and how they affect our lives. I jumped at the chance as I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and my pets mean the world to me.  Once I started writing I found it hard to stop. And judging by the response Catherine received it seems there were lots like me too.
